25 Great Workplace Comedies to Stream (That Aren't 'The Office')
There are only so many times you can rewatch The Office (or even The Office). In fact, in the likely event that you aren't a Peacock Premium subscriber, you can't even stream much of the American series at all anymore.
But fear not: As some of us enter our second year of working at home there are still plenty of critic-approved streaming workplace comedies to satisfy any nostalgia you may have for days of toiling in a crowded office surrounded by your coworkers. (Or merely to kill the extra hours you have to spend at home.) Our suggestions for your next workplace comedy binge—including information on where to stream each show—can be found in alphabetical order in the gallery above. Most of these shows are from the past few decades, but at the end of the gallery we have compiled suggestions for some additional classic workplace sitcoms, as well as a few titles that are just getting started. (Shows such as Sports Night and NewsRadio not currently streaming in full on any free or subscription service are excluded.)
